Title: Without You

Author: Jaid

Disclaimer: The lyrics to “Probably Wouldn't Be This Way” belong to Leann Rimes and Tenel Ka, Jacen, Leia, Jaina, Hapes and co. belong to George Lucas. The memorial idea/concept/thing belongs ENTIRELY to -Tenel-Ka-, the Goddess of TK/J. I have her permission. ^_^ To be truthful, the only things I own are the dratted plot bunnies. And you may take them if you promise to care for them. tongue

Key Words: Tenel Ka, Jacen, hurt, alone

Genre: angst

Authors Note: Tenel Ka does not normally babble. Leave it alone. Do not mention it as criticism, because I am aware of it, and I like it anyways. AU, Jacen died at Myrkr and Teneniel didn't die. I hope you like it anyways though!! sad

Dedication: For my brother, Jon (RK_Striker_JK_5) because he’s a TK/J addict and wrote those “Glory of Love” songfics that made me realize that I really could kill Jacen and live to tell about it, and Heather (-Tenel-Ka-) because she’s the Queen of TK/J and managed to make me think that fanon was canon and also let me use her memorial in this fic. love



Summary: If she had never seen him, she probably never would’ve hurt this much.

Without You









It was dark and warm in the gardens – only a little before dawn. The guards of the Fountain Palace were used to the silent visits that their crown princess would make in the middle of the night, so she slipped through the doors unhindered. The tall woman was dressed in flowing trousers and a sleeveless shirt that didn’t hinder her movement. Her feet were bare and her long phoenix hair was open down her back. She moved with such grace and suppleness, the absence of her left arm often was never noticed. It had been a cut off at the elbow, cauterized almost immediately – a lightsaber wound. But for all that she seemed to be the perfect picture of power, her very presence in the gardens seemed to make the shadows cry with pain.

Tenel Ka’s feet knew the path that she was walking on, even as it twisted and twined through the beautiful, bewildering gardens; she walked there often enough. Even when her mind was spinning and tears were drowning her heart, she never showed it. She just escaped to the one place she was safe. She had been the one who ordered the place to be created, and then turned the silent grove into her sanctuary. It was where the ghosts of her past couldn’t harm her. The moonlight seemed muted as it glanced off of the white and green memorial. The small grove was crafted from white and silver marble; vines grew across the walls and laced through the lattice roof, almost hiding the stone from view, offering its own off-white blossoms as a token offering in exchange for what it was hiding. The large flowers grew in clusters around nine niches where holo-portraits rested in the walls, and if the petals were touched, the off-white would melt into different colors. It was beautiful when it rained.

The quiet woman stood in the entrance for a while, her clear gray eyes fixed on a single point on the pillar that held the roof from falling. She knew that on the other side there was a simple holo-portrait hidden in the wall; just as she knew that the grinning face was one that she could never escape, no matter how much it hurt.

Tenel Ka’s eyes closed for a moment. And then she moved into the memorial and around the pillar to stand before the picture. She lifted her one good hand to the holo-image and let the edges of her lips tip up in a bitter sweet smile that didn’t even begin to touch the pain that filled her shattered heart.


Got a date a week from Friday with a preacher's son
Everybody says he's crazy
I'll have to wait and see



“Good day, Jacen,” Tenel Ka said softly, feeling a little more helpless as she stared at Jacen Solo’s face, frozen forever in a cheerful grin that was so unlike anything else she had ever seen. It was so unlike anything she ever would see again… it was like she was falling, yet she was utterly aware of what she stood on, of what she was going to do that week, of what she was going to say that week, of what she was going to see that week. Of who she was going to see that week.

She couldn’t hold his gaze, even though she knew logically that it wouldn’t hurt her. Or rather, that it shouldn’t hurt her.

“Everybody says that he is crazy.” Tenel Ka finally managed to say, twisting several strands of her hair behind her ear. “Mother says that he didn’t always be like this. Even though he was raised on Charubah, the files say he used to be much like how y-you were.” the faint tremor shook her voice and Tenel Ka hated herself for it. “I’ll be meeting him at the… the end, of the week.”

Tenel Ka turned away from his face and slid down the wall next to the holo-portrait. She didn’t care that her shirt was bunched up under her breasts, or that she was sitting on cold stone. She couldn’t face him.


I finally moved to Jackson when the summer came
I won't have to pay that boy to rake my leaves



“I have decided to formally transfer my living quarters here to Hapes,” Tenel Ka said quietly. “It feels odd, knowing that I will never live on Yavin IV or Dathomir again.”

The edge where the wall met the floor across from her was positively entrancing as she remembered what the air could do to her warrior braids, and how a laughing Jacen would tug at them teasingly, and then try to escape before she could break his hand. He never managed to, Tenel Ka thought with a trace of smugness. But even that faded as she remembered how it all had ended. The teasing, the jokes, the smiles… that had been at the beginning. Before things had started changing.

“Jacen, if you were still here, would you try to make me smile?” Tenel Ka whispered. “Or would that, too, have changed?”


I'm probably going on and on
It seems I'm doing more of that these days



“I am babbling, Friend Jacen.” Tenel Ka was still whispering. “I can not seem to help myself these days… my father has even noted on it. It is unlike me, yet I no longer have control. And I am not upset by that.”

Tenel Ka was silent, lost in thought as she twisted her back and plucked one of the large blossoms, the creamy color melting into a vibrant, burning green that Tenel Ka knew almost as well as she knew the soft cinnamon of his eyes. She tilted her head to one side and regarded the flower solemnly.

“Do you find this strange? That I, Tenel Ka Chume Ta’ Djo, have lost control, and I am not concerned by this fact?” Tenel Ka brushed her thumb across one of the large petals and sighed gently. “By that, I am most concerned. And that is a fact.”


I probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh you left so fast



“I never would have thought of this, friend Jacen. I am a warrior, born of two warriors. If I was not strong, I was made to become strong. That is a fact, and I have never doubted it. But it is empty here, now.” Tenel Ka twirled the short stem between her fingers and stared at the pale green petals as they slowly turned back to off-white. “Fact does not seem so certain to me now. The present and how I fought seemed of the most importance to me; I never wondered ‘what if’. For this I am glad. If I had, I do not think I would have survive, this is a fact.”

She let the flower drop to the floor, the petals almost flaring up into green.

“At times, when I was small, I would admire my parents and think of when I was grown. It is a fact that I never pictured being like this. You left me so quickly, friend Jacen… I do not feel strong.

“It hurts; fact.”


Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch
Sometimes I feel like I'm so lucky to have had the chance to
Love this much



Tenel Ka’s mouth curled in a mirthless smile. “I am going mad, my friend. You are dead, are you not? Yes, you are. I felt you leave, this is fact. But sometimes you are standing on my balcony, smiling at me.”

She picked up the flower again, staring hard at the bruised petals, wondering if she really had gone as mad as the others were saying. Everywhere she went in the Palace she could hear the whispers, the words only just barely outside of hearing range. They would say that his death had tipped her off the edge. They would ask if she could really rule them. They would wonder why it was happening.

“I… do not know if it was a gift, Jacen. I cared about you - a very great deal. I had everything I dreamed of when you were here with me. I loved you even then, that is a fact.” Tenel Ka mused. “I did not see how lucky I was.”


God gave me a moment's grace
'Cause if I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way



“I do not know which would be worse, friend Jacen.” Tenel Ka’s voice was weary; tired of dreaming about someone who was lost to her. “If I had never seen you, and you had never made me smile, I do not think I would be this way. I never would have loved you though…”

Tenel Ka drew her knees to her chest and leaned her head on them, wrapping her arms around her legs and tried, once again, to understand.

“I loved you, but you have left me. I… I do not know if it is worth it. Jacen, why?...”

And I loooove this line: But for all that she seemed to be the perfect picture of power, her very presence in the gardens seemed to make the shadows cry with pain.

You did a beautiful job with the memorial -- and thank you so so much for using it and for you comments and everything! I'm honored it's in such a beautiful story. love *hugs*

Now, I'll try to wait patiently for the second part -- but no guarentees on the "patient"... wink

Oh, my...

It's so sad, reading it like that. Poor Tenel Ka! I want to hug her, but I also want to keep the ability to eat solid foods.

Bring him back, Mel. She deserves happiness.

The Second Part, folks. grin love








-------------------------------------







The sky slowly gathered clouds as Tenel Ka sat there, trying desperately not to think for a while. It had been almost three months since the fateful Myrkr mission that had destroyed the one man she loved. It had been a month and a half since the memorial had been completed. It had been eighty-seven nights since she had been able to sleep without dreaming of that night, that night when everything she wanted had been destroyed.

The ghosts had started coming even when she wasn’t asleep, now.

She pushed away from the wall and stood up, the inactivity making her restless and edgy. She tried not to be still nowadays. It only brought back memories, accompanied by pain. Fighting kept them away. Matters of state could form barriers to the world. Even a simple datapad could lock her mind away, safe – and she was fast becoming addicted to the simple beauty of silence.


Mama says that I just shouldn't speak to you
Susan says that I should just move on



““Mother says that speaking with you is having an adverse effect on my overall health,” Tenel Ka leaned her forehead against the pillar, her back to Jacen. “It is hard to do this, my friend. Even though I know, intellectually at least, that you are not with me any more, I can not find it within myself to stay away. I do not think anyone could understand.”

The atmosphere in the small memorial seemed darker as Tenel Ka struggled, uncharacteristically, for words.

“Jacen, does it make one weak if they… need…. someone?” She grimaced faintly. “It is not something I can… put into words. It is most unacceptable. I have so much; family, friends,” but none like you, Jacen, she thought sadly, “subjects… the Jedi look after their own. But they do not help.

“Your twin contacted me the other day, and I spoke with her; I believe my mother asked her to speak with me, because it is most unlike friend Jaina to tell people that they should move on and forget things. Particularly since she knew of the bond you and I had.” Tenel Ka didn’t know how to say what she was thinking.

If someone such as Jaina, someone who loved with just as much passion, just as much devotion, could say that she, Tenel Ka would be better off without what her heart claimed, and that the best thing would be for her to move on, then what was it that kept Tenel Ka coming back to this memorial, night after night?


You oughta see the way these people look at me
When they see me 'round here talking to this stone



Tenel Ka looked around the room and sighed. “This sanctuary is different when the sun is not up, friend Jacen. It is peaceful and… calming. When the sun rises, I do not come here anymore. It draws too many. It is as if they believe I am some sort of amusement that is on display and it… it is not kind. They do not understand why I speak with you – I do not think I could find the words to describe it to them even if they should ask.”

She looked pensive, and she didn’t even try to clear her face of the emotion. “It…” she hesitated, uncertain if what she was about to say was true or if it was only the fantasies of her mind. “The Force, it has changed, Friend Jacen. It… it was home. Now it is empty to me – it… has abandoned me.” Like you, went unspoken.

“Every time I try to meditate, to use the Force, I can feel the questions. I can feel the looks. The assumptions. It is as if the Force feeds off of those around me, and magnifies what they say to me. I do not – understand. I do not know why it does this… why it traps me.”

Frustration that the quiet woman kept locked inside her heart bled onto her face as she wrapped her arms around herself, as if she were a young child who thought that she could keep the world at bay if she did not hold her arms out to it. “I wish you could see the… looks they have begun giving me. It is as if this memorial, built for you, has amplified whatever it is that they fear. It is fear you know, it is easy to decipher; they do not know how to correctly hide their emotions from me. But what is it that they fear?? It is not as if I am less then I was,” she lied to herself. “I am the same as I was. I am strong – simply because I no longer have you, does not mean I have lost my mind, damn it all! I am the great-granddaughter of Augwynne, the granddaughter of Ta’a Chume, the daughter of Teneniel. Does this mean nothing to them?”

Tenel Ka’s cool grey eyes burned, and they were rimmed with red, but she did not cry. To cry was to be weak – and with Jacen gone, strength was all she had left.

No, she would not cry.


Everybody thinks I've lost my mind
But I just take it day by day



“They think that I have lost my mind.” Tenel Ka stated it in an uncomprehending way, as if she was trying to make it make sense. Her eyes were locked on the holoportait, but she did not see it. “It… does not seem so implausible at times Friend Jacen, that is a fact. And it is a worrisome one, I fear. I – would you be disappointed in me, if you could see me, Jacen?”

“I… am finding it difficult to restrain myself around your twin, friend Jacen. Every time I see her face, I find myself wishing that it was you I was looking at. That she had been the one to die instead of you. I am… uncomfortable in her presence. I think she finds my behavior odd, I am sure of it. But she does not bring it up with me, and for that I am grateful. How would one explain to a friend that you wish she had died while her brother lived? Is this unfair of me?” Her voice was cracking but she didn’t notice as she tried to say it all and be done with it. “Yes, of course it is. I should know this. I just… I keep wishing – hoping – dreaming. Maybe I was wrong? I would not mind being wrong in this instance, Jacen. I…”


I probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh You left so fast



“Why, Jacen, why did it take something like, like this to show me how much it was that I love you? Why could we not have been given a chance to – to slowly find this? To learn and grow old together? Why did the Force destroy that which wasn’t even started? Force – I never wanted to be this way!”

Tenel Ka closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the pillar for support.

“Why did you have to leave me? If you had been given a choice? Would you still have left me? Why—why does it have to hurt?!”


Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes I feel an angel's touch
Sometimes I feel like I'm so lucky to have had the chance to
Love this much



“Did you know that when I awoke from dreaming this morning, I thought it was you?” Tenel Ka was whispering, the hurt too much to be able to speak properly. “I—it felt like you touched my hair and whispered my name… I thought…”

Anger at herself for being so deluded, so desperate, so very much in love with him rose like a phantom that she couldn’t dismiss. It haunted her, dodged her, and at the edge of her senses, there was always a measure of grace that eluded her senses.

“I thought that if I – if I found you, I would be the most fortunate woman to ever have lived,” tears swam in her eyes, but they did not fall. “I do not understand how it could… could go so wrong. You were not supposed to leave me.”


God gave me a moment's grace
'Cause if I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way



The tall woman leaned back against the pillar and tipped her head back, gasping sharply for breath. She banished the tears from her tired eyes. But the ache in her chest did not subside and she felt no better then she had when the water blurred her gaze.

“I do not… it… it has not even been three months, Jacen. Three—months! Force why??” Tenel Ka almost whimpered as her tenuous hold on her control slipped for a moment. “If – if I hadn’t seen you, hadn’t met you?” her voice was pleading. “Would you still haunt me? Would your smile, laugh, voice be just in the shadows? Would you ever give me a moment’s grace? Why friend Jacen?! How…. Why? Why?”


Probably wouldn't be this way


Tenel Ka forced her limbs into submission as she stood upright, her arms falling gracefully to her sides, her head coming up sharply, her shoulders dropping and squaring as she held herself – almost stiffly. Her cool grey eyes were tired and it took everything she had to not blink or let the pain shine out. Her mind and soul blazed with pain that was only equaled by the loss in her heart.

The quiet Princess was broken for knowing Jacen, for daring to give him her heart. But giving him her heart had never been an option. It had been right. But if she hadn’t… she probably wouldn’t be this way.


Got a date a week from Friday with a preacher's son
Everybody says I'm crazy
I'll have to wait and see



She almost looked fragile, standing there so still and quiet in the moonlight that slipped through dark clouds, her face washed with pain and sleeplessness. She drew a shuddering breath and tried to garner a few last drops of strength to admit something that made her want to cry. “I—If I am crazy, friend Jacen, would my decisions be rational? Or irrational? They all say I am-“ she shrugged her shoulders slightly. “but what does that prove? That they may think for themselves? They are my children; my people. If I must do something for them that would destroy me, would you count it against me?”

The struggle in her eyes was brilliant and cruel in a way that only shattered dreams and nightmarish futures could be.

“I… they have given me a—a consort, friend Jacen. I did not wish it… I do not wish it… yet my mother says my people need it. You are gone, yet you are with me—Jacen, what am I to do? You… you have left me with nothing but your specter and the echo of your smile and I can not move on…”

She licked her lips.

“I do not think I want to face the future, it is empty. That is a f-fact.”

Tenel Ka bowed her head.

“Please, forgive me?”

She closed her eyes as she stood there, silent. Time turned as the moon and sun slowly spun around her world until she turned and walked quietly from the silent memorial, the ghosts of Jacen following her out.

It started to rain, water brushing the memorial flowers and turning them into living memories. There was a brilliant green, a deep purple, a gentle blue, and a harsher blue. Around Ganner’s portrait the flowers were a burning yellow, yet for all of these changes, only one of the holoportraits was changed in the thick rain that covered the Fountain Palace.

And even then, Jacen’s eyes still smiled as they watched the quiet woman leave her sanctuary, her heart resonating with pain. And the rain fell on and on, but if a tear escaped her control, Tenel Ka did not notice as she felt herself breaking time over time again, creating a rhythm steady to the raindrops that mingled with her splintered heart as the shadowed sun rose, bringing with it a hope that could never be hers.











End



























rose

Awesome NJO fic! Striker's your brother?

shock You knew that? you-er how did you figure that out? *feels waaaaaaaay out of the loop* Oooh and thank you for the compliment!!!! grin hugs

Guess I'll finally have something to review for the CRPA since I'm having a hard time finding completed stuff that I didn't review yet.

Completed stuff? *snickers* Oh boy don't get me started... I'm glowing. grin This is the FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER COMPLETED A FIC!!!... and it's only two posts, which is sad, but I'm taking my victories where ever I can see them. tongue

Thank you so much Sil!! grin

It's absolutly GORGEOUS~ even though it makes me so, so sad. sad The last line is PERFECT.

And again, you did an incredible job with the memorial grove -- thank you for using it! *hugs*

This is one of those stories that I'm not TOO depressed with them not getting together in the end also, because it was written so perfectly. <3 Anybody who can achieve that rocks in my book. grin
